I could not get into this book, ultimately it was not form me and I could not finish it. It may be one for other readers

Going Green is a humorous novel about Ellie Cooke, a PR professional who is suddenly faced with the challenge of going green when her company is taken over by an eco-conscious new owner. Ellie is not exactly a tree-hugger, but she is determined to keep her job, so she sets out to learn everything she can about environmentalism. Along the way, she makes some hilarious mistakes, but she also learns a lot about herself and the importance of protecting the planet.

The book is well-written and funny, and it does a good job of balancing humor with a serious message about the environment. Ellie is a relatable character who readers will root for, and the supporting cast is also well-developed. Overall, Going Green is a fun and entertaining read that will leave readers feeling inspired to make a difference in the world.

The ending felt a bit rushed. I would have liked to see more of Ellie's journey as she becomes more environmentally conscious.
The plot was a bit predictable. I was able to guess what was going to happen next a few times.
Overall, I enjoyed Going Green. It is a funny and entertaining book with a positive message about the environment. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good laugh and wants to learn more about environmentalism.

Love all of Nicks books including this one. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read and review.

Ellie's transformation to an environmental crusader is at first driven by her desire to impress her boss and keep her job, but it slowly becomes her passion. I liked the book overall, don't get me wrong, but I didn't really understand Ellie as a person or many of her choices. Ellie's relationship with her brother was somethat stood out to me in the book, while her relationship with Nolan and her colleagues never really felt substantial.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the arc.

This was the first book I have read by this author and will not be the last, it was full of humour while dealing with some serious issues and it got the balance perfectly right

It’s been awhile since I last read a Nick’s book and how I missed! Goin green has great characters, and even more laughs in the romp of the world of environmentally friendly PR companies. I loved the ending! Excited to read more from the author

Funny book. Not bad overall. Ellie was over the top but I don't mind that, characters are supposed to be fun.

I just didn't care for this one at all. It was over the top silly, extremely predictable and I didn't finish it.. It just wasn't for me.

This is one of those times where it is not the book; it is me. I have read Nick Spalding in the past and enjoyed his books. I am simply having difficulty getting into this book and keeping with it.

Absolutely loved this hilarious, light-hearted novel with an important underlying message about climate change. This was my first book by Nick Spalding but definitely won't be my last. Highly recommended if you want something fun to read. With thanks to NetGalley for my copy.

This is quite funny and a conundrum at the same time. Does going green require a lot of choices..a conscious effort? Does going green to save your job still count as being an environmentalist? The heroine must become environmentally family in order to save her job. Can she do it? Is she being a fraud! It’s an enjoyable read.

Not really read many books written by a man , but once I got going I didn’t real notice a difference. The story was believable and had strong characters. Enjoyed the story and felt the plot was believable.

This story is wonderful. It shows a very realistic journey of self discovery and awareness centred around climate change and sustainability. There is a very clear message at the end about doing what we can.

Do what you can. The rest will come in time.

I highly recommend this book. It’s funny but also serious. It’s hugely topical and it’s captivating.

I have read a few books by Nick previously so when i was approved for his new one, I was looking forward to it. Entertaining and comical. Looking forward to his next book.

This is my first Nick Spalding novel and I particularly enjoyed his humour and the many laugh out loud moments I had throughout this one.

Ellie is in her 30’s, single and working in a PR firm and such a likeable character. Her company and purchased by a new owner keen environmentalist Nolan Reece and Ellie does her absolute best to embrace this new way of thinking in order to keep her job.

It was a fun and light hearted read with many laughs throughout and a great underdog story.

I want to thank The Publisher and Netgalley for generously providing me with this book in exchange for an honest review.

Ellie Cooke never takes a bag for life with her to the shop, she drinks out of single use plastic bottles and loves fast cheap fashion. That is until the PR company she works for is taken over by green campaigner Nolan who, in a weeks time, will be letting two people go.

The book is written like a narration from Ellie, which I found extremely grating to begin off with. Once I got used to it, and got in the flow of Ellie’s thought process it became quite amusing. She has quite the calamity of mishaps along her way to becoming greener, the shopping centre to be a particular highlight, however there is a heart to the story which does make you think about being greener yourself.

The only way I can sum this book up is a Bridget Jones for the world we live in now….just not as good.

Thank you Netgalley for a copy of the book in return for an honest review.

I wouldn't call this the funniest or least problematic book ever...but it was a fun read, and the hijinks were just over-the-top enough to not make you roll your eyes (and/or throw the book at the wall). It's a nice break from real life, a humorous read, like watching a rom-com that's more disaster than cute, and having a nice-enough time. That's what I was looking for in this after reading tiresome non-fiction for a while, so if this is the ticket you're looking for, then take a look at this one

Ugh. This had potential. In my 20s, I read and enjoyed some books with the lovable, screwup female main character who learns lessons along the way. This feels like it wants to be that... but isn't. Ellie? I just don't like her.

Ellie's PR firm is bought by an environmentally conscious man who she's already nearly run over with her gas-guzzling, black exhaust-spewing car. It's announced that there need to be some cutbacks in staffing and Ellie's response is to lie, shop and just be annoying in her attempts to show her new boss how "green" she is and keep her job. It's just all so ridiculous. Rather than wait a few minutes for a bathroom to be available, she uses her boss's office to adjust her itchy hemp underwear?? It really bothered me how the environmentalists and vegans are portrayed so negatively. I only made it 1/3 off the way through this and just can't care enough to see if she changes. Everything has been super predictable to this point so I'm guessing she'll become enlightened eventually, but I don't like her character enough to continue. This is definitely is not for me.

Thanks to Amazon Publishing UK, Lake Union Publishing and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

I’m very sorry but this book is just not my kind of thing. It’s always difficult when something is described as ‘laugh out loud funny’ and I’m afraid it just didn’t really appeal to my sense of humour. I also found it very repetitive, as if the jokes were constantly being explained.

It is very good to see someone writing about such an important issue and someone with a different sort of humour would probably really get a lot from it.

Funny and thought provoking. I really enjoyed this book and would like to thank the publisher and netgalley for the opportunity to read this.
What took me so long?
